RIFF JTAG – HTC EVO View 4G Unbrick, Unlock, IMEI and CID update supported
19.03.2012 RIFF JTAG – HTC EVO View 4G Unbrick, Unlock, IMEI and CID update supported
Repairing bricked HTC EvoView4G is easy using RIFF Box. Phone is auto powered on with USB Data Cable connected to the PC while battery is connected. Please note, battery presense is required.
Some (or all) revisions of HTC EvoView4G boards have JTAG interface disabled (that is enable MARM JTAG Fuse is blown in the MSM8255 chip). In this case the JTAG may be enabled only by firmware itself. This is done by the FSBL loader, so writing to FSBL area is artificially disabled in the DCC Loader code. DCC Loader will discard all flashing attempts into FSBL zone and will respond with success code as if flashing succeeded. In this way FSBL zone is protected while user still can flash full image files seamlessly.
Resurrector will reflash radio’s boot zone (except FSBL area) and will re-write PDA’s SPL to 1.38.0000 version. Additionally to SPL and Radio zones, the zone which contains Model ID is re-flashed too. Thus after resurrection phone will have Model ID = ‘PG4120000’.
There is option to reflash BOOT and RECOVERY zones.
Please note, if your phone has the FSBL loader damaged and MCU has JTAG FUSE blown then there is no way to resurrect your phone via JTAG interface.
To resurrect HTC EvoView4G:
*Solder JTAG cable to HTC EvoView4G JTAG pads;
*Insert battery and connect USB Data cable;
*Make sure HTC EvoView4G is selected in the list of models;
*If you use only battery, press Power On key;
*Click Resurrect button;
*Wait till software signals a successful operation completion;
*Disconnect power supply, de-solder JTAG wires;
Now phone is in bootable condition, that is, even if it does not start up normally you can flash it using known flashing methods.
To enter download mode:
*Disconnect PC cable;
*Insert battery;
*Hold ‘Volume Down’ key and press ‘Power ON’ button.

27.03.2012 RIFF JTAG – Samsung SCH-I500 Galaxy S Mesmerize/Fascinate Unbrick Supported
Repairing bricked Samsung SCH-I500 Galaxy S Mesmerize/Fascinate is easy with RIFF Box.
I500 is based on the S5PCxxx Processor (ARM core is Cortex-A8). Please note the adaptive clocking mode (RTCK) is not available on this processor, so make sure to select a fixed TCK frequency.
To establish the JTAG connection attach battery cable and press Power On key.
In case after resurrection the download mode is not initiated (LCD remains blank) do repeat resurrection with ‘Clone Gremlin zone’ option checked.
To resurrect Samsung I500:
Solder JTAG cable to Samsung I500 JTAG pads;
Attach battery cable and press Power On key;
Make sure Samsung I500 is selected in the list of models;
Make sure a fixed TCK frequency is selected;
Click Resurrect button;

RIFF JTAG – HTC Flyer WiFi (PG41400) Unbrick, S-off, CID update supported
Repairing bricked HTC Flyer WiFi (PG41400) is easy with the RIFF Box. Phone is auto powered on with USB Data Cable connected to the PC while battery is connected. Please note, battery presense is required.
Some (or all) revisions of HTC Flyer boards have JTAG interface disabled (that is enable MARM JTAG Fuse is blown in the MSM8255 chip). In this case the JTAG may be enabled only by firmware itself. This is done by the DBL loader, so writing to DBL area is artificially disabled in the DCC Loader code. DCC Loader will discard all flashing attempts into DBL zone and will respond with success code as if flashing succeeded. In this way DBL zone is protected while user still can flash full image files seamlessly.
Resurrector will reflash radio’s boot zone (except DBL area) and will re-write PDA’s SPL to 1.11.0011 version. Additionally to SPL and Radio zones, the zone which contains Model ID is re-flashed too. Thus after resurrection phone will have Model ID = ‘PG4140000’.
There is option to reflash android BOOT and RECOVERY zones. Recovery zone is flashed with ClockworkMod Recovery 4.0.1.4. In addition, you can set S-OFF (unlock HBOOT so you will be able to flash any ROM) by selecting S-OFF HBOOT version in the resurrector settings.
Sometimes (for example after rooting attempts) phone has a modified DBL loader (which may not accept official HTC boot files). To restore phone functionality you need to reflash DBL loader. There is option to reflash DBL code (DBL area will be temporary unlocked for reflashing). But please note, reflashing DBL area is very dangerous, since in case flashing stops in the middle, you will have briked phone with permanently disabled JTAG interface.
Please note, if your phone has the DBL loader damaged and MCU has JTAG FUSE blown then there is no way to resurrect your phone via JTAG interface.
To resurrect HTC Flyer WiFi:
Solder JTAG cable to HTC Flyer JTAG pads;
Insert battery and connect USB Data cable;
Make sure HTC Flyer (PG41400) is selected in the list of models;
If you use only battery, press Power On key;
Click Resurrect button;
Wait till software signals a successful operation completion;
Disconnect power supply, de-solder JTAG wires;
Now phone is in bootable condition, that is, even if it does not start up normally you can flash it using known flashing methods. You can use CWM recovery to flash any ZIP file – for this during resurrection add BOOT & RECOVERY zones to be resurrected too.
To enter download mode:
Disconnect PC cable;
Insert battery;
Hold ‘Volume Down’ key and press ‘Power ON’ button.

RIFF JTAG - Week updates summar
So what we have done this week ?
New Models:
New RIFF Software:
- RIFF JTAG Manager v1.45
- RIFF Box firmware v1.34
- ST-Ericsson NovaThor U8500 MCU support is added;
- Updates List is now displayed in alphabetic order ("Check Updates" button on the "Box Service" page);
- Small cosmetic change to CTRL+F find form: CTRL+V/CTRL+X operations on ID search field starts search immediately;
- Added "Override Embedded Reset Strategy" feature: is usefull in rare cases when there are some problems with target
coming out of reset, etc. The feature is accessible via "Advanced Settings" button on the "Box Service" page;
- Added "Apply NRST before connecting to target" (to setup click "Advanced Settings" button on the "Box Service" page);
This feature is handy for development purposes especially when working with Qualcomm MCUs - after erroneous H/W config
(most often is 0x45 error code) MSM locks down, to reconnect need to reset power. Enabling this feature simplifies this.
Firmware 1.34
---------------------------
- ST-Ericsson NovaThor U8500 MCU support is added
